Axford for treasurer - Letter to the Editor

August 02, 2004

To the Editor:

I would like to express my support of Diann Axford for Otsego County Treasurer.

I feel that the many facets of the treasurer's position and the complexities of today's issues require a great deal of experience. Diann has had the opportunity to gain that experience through her 12 years in the banking industry and her 12 years in the county treasurer's office. She has spent nine years as chief deputy treasurer working closely with Erma Backenstose, the retired county treasurer, giving her the opportunity to learn all areas of the position.

Since being appointed treasurer in January, Diann has had the opportunity to show that she is certainly capable of performing the many activities required of the county treasurer.

I encourage the residents of Otsego County to keep Diann Axford as county treasurer.
